Socially Awkward Penguin

In memory of Leelah Alcorn, a young transwoman recently driven to suicide by her parents' nonacceptance of her, I'm reposting this. It's a suicide/crisis hotline, run for and staffed by transpeople. If you're trans and in crisis, contact them, and if you know someone who's trans and in crisis, tell them about this, it may well save their life. http://www.translifeline.org/

(I don't often post stuff unlocked, but I consider this a public service announcement. Please signal-boost.)

It's been a fun ten years but like so many things that have come and gone in my life, this LJ has hit its expiration date. You are all still my friends and I'd love to get together with you some time for a beer or coffee or lunch or whatever. You know where/how to reach me.
